Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's All My Fault!

"Hey, let me go, or I'll scream!" Edward threatened Emilia, trying to get her to back down.

Clearly, his threat pales.

"Shout?" Emilia squinted her eyes and looked at him disdainfully, as if signaling him to do whatever he wanted.

"Help, help, someone's going to beat me, bully, guard, guard, where are you, come, or I'm going to die, help!" Edward shouted, trying to get the guard's attention.

At night, the city gates were cold and unoccupied, and any shouting could be heard far, far away. If he could shout a few more times, he might have been able to wake up the guard who was dozing off at the city gate, but alas, he didn't have a chance.

"Shut up!"

Emilia pressed Edward harder against the wall, and she threw her head up and slammed forward.

Bang bang.

Edward was caught off guard, and the door was smashed by Emilia's head, the tip of his nose was sore, and a few tears flowed down his face.

"Hmm...... You, you guy, don't force me!" Edward grinned, took a few deep breaths, and shouted loudly, "I, I've now restored the double Demon King Seal, and the Demon King Realm, if you really fight, you may not be able to beat me...... I ......"

As he spoke, Edward's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last, he just kept his mouth open and couldn't say a word.

Amilia's terrifying eyes sent chills through him.

"Apologies. ā€ć€‚

Emilia clenched her teeth, black bangs covering her eyes.

ā€œ......ā€

Amilia's trembling voice made Edward feel very uncomfortable, and he looked at the girl in front of him silently, but did not answer.

"Apologize to me!"

Emilia kept her head down and didn't look into Edward's eyes, or rather, she didn't dare to look at Edward, because she was afraid that she would lose that persistent strength.

ā€œ......ā€

Edward was silent.

Emilia's head was getting lower and lower, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer to him, and the tips of their noses were only separated by a gap of a finger, and as long as one of them pursed his mouth slightly, he could touch the soft lips of the other.

The girl's faint snort blew on Edward's cheek, and he could feel the unease and anger in Amilia's heart.

Although he had never been able to guess Amilia's mind, this time, he might be able to guess some.

Emilia was angry.

He guessed right, Emilia was angry, but he only guessed half of it right, and the other half......

There was something special about that anger mixed in. And that kind of emotion is something that Edward can never guess.

"Apologize!" Emilia ordered.

"Okay......"

Not fearful, nor subservient, Edward chose to give in only because he didn't want to make Emilia cry.

How about a few soft words to comfort her? It was not the first time she had caused trouble for herself, and if she had waited a little longer until the gates were closed, they would have to eat and sleep in the open.

Seeing Emilia like this, Edward sighed helplessly.

"Amilia, I'm sorry for what happened. I'm sorry if it caused you trouble. I was wrong, please forgive me. Edward's tone was sincere.

ā€œ......ā€

For some reason, Amilia's eyes widened when she heard Edward's apology, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"What's wrong with you?" said Edward, bewildered, thinking that Emilia was not satisfied, and continued, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should not tarnish your reputation and personality by saying that you are in love with me. Also, I didn't actually touch your boobs at all, I just peeked at it......"

As soon as Edward finished speaking, a delicate snort sounded in his ears. The voice, like a frightened puppy, made the listener's heart tighten.

ā€œ......ā€

There was no response, Emilia was still the same, her head bowed heavily, the only difference was that her body trembled inexplicably.

Her hands and legs were still pinned to Edward's body, and instead of letting Edward apologize, she pushed harder.

"Tsk...... Isn't that enough?" Edward frowned.

He shook himself to give himself a little space in his arm pinned to the wall to make himself comfortable, and then, with a sincere face, he said, "Amilia, if you are still angry, then beat me up, if that satisfies you...... I'm definitely not going to fight back. ā€

"Why......" Emilia asked in a whisper.

Her mouth was right next to Edward's ear, and the slight breath made Edward tickle.

"What, why?"

"Why apologize?" Emilia questioned.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Edward's expression was like eating a bedbug, and he was depressed to death, "If you ask me to apologize, I will apologize." ā€

"Why did I ask you to apologize and you apologize?"

ā€œ...... Hey, I said, are you sure your brain is okay?" Edward looked at Emilia confusedly, "You were angry and asked me to apologize, so I apologized, it's as simple as that." And now, you're asking me why, Amilia, you're a lunatic. ā€

He's right, and now, Emilia is almost in a frenzy.

"No! no! it shouldn't be like this!" Emilia shook her head vigorously, her short black hair shaving Edward's face several times.

"What should be then?" asked Edward rhetorically.

"You, you shouldn't apologize! You should scold me, you should beat me, you should refute me. ā€

ā€œ...... Why did it become like that, aren't you angry?"

"No, it's not me who should be angry, it's you, isn't it?" Exilia shouted as she threw her head back and tore her heart and lungs.

"Uh...... Are you crazy?" Emilia looked crazy and surprised Edward.

"I-I'm not crazy!" Emilia lifted her leg suddenly, and one knee was firmly pressed against Edward's lower abdomen.

"Hmm...... Y-What are you doing?" Edward was in terrible pain, and subconsciously tried to cover his injured stomach with his hand, but he found that his arm was firmly pressed by Emilia, and he couldn't move at all.

You can't rub it when it's hurting, you can't cry when you're sad, there's nothing more uncomfortable than that.

"Why did you do it all of a sudden, you violent woman!" said Edward, a little angry.

No matter how good his temper is, he can't stand Emilia's nonsense several times.

"Ah, that's right, I'm a violent woman, I have no brains, I don't have an IQ, I'm an idiot, you scold me, you beat me!" Exhemilia cried.

"Uh, that's a strange request......

"Scold me! Why don't you scold me? Why don't you apologize to me instead of scolding me because I'm making trouble? I'm not a child!"

"Eh, what did you do wrong?" Edward froze.

"I was wrong, of course I did wrong! It was I who didn't listen to your advice and single-handedly provoked the Black Flame Gang, and in the end I was besieged by them and almost died. If I hadn't been so reckless, you wouldn't have left me to find Audley, you wouldn't have deceived him with such lame excuses, you've done all this to protect me, you, you're not wrong, it's me who is wrong!"

Emilia's arms trembled as she pushed too hard, and her legs had long since lost the strength to support her body, not so much as she was holding Edward, but rather supporting her.

She was now like a tense string, under tremendous pressure, letting out a heart-wrenching cry that could break at any moment.

"So you know, I ......" Edward didn't know what to say.

"Ah, of course I do. You know that, right? It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all I got you in trouble, but why don't you say it, why don't you refute it? Why do you apologize to me?"

"I ......"

"Demon King, what do you want? I—I've had enough of you!" Emilia clenched her teeth.

"Amilia, I ......"

"Ah, I see, hehe. Emilia laughed angrily, squinting at Edward, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "You must be trying to tie me up, aren't you?"

Tie up?

"What do you mean?"
